Don't forget giving up a number of prospects to acquire that player too. Too expensive to sign but we need to empty the farm along with taking on more money. Why offer the FA an extra million or some kind of benefit when you can wait for someone else to sign them, want to dump salary, take it all on (outside of a few million) while pissing away prospect that might have been with the big team or traded for someone younger and more valuable? #BaseballSmarts
